The 2020 Cardinals Did the Impossible. Then They Did It Again. 

“The Run of 21” was the most fun I’ve ever had watching baseball as a cardinals fan outside of the 2011 postseason. I have such high hopes for this season

I would love to see a video on the career of carpenter… from being a contact hitter to almost winning MVP and then his sharp decline. I think it would be cool

was sad to see them lose in the wild card game, that hot streak at the end of the year was a movie

As a Cardinals this team brings moments of PURE JOY and then just Pain. See how we hit in the WC game this year.

2020 and 2021 were the prime examples of the Cardinals’ devil magic

I have such a good feeling about the Cards this year, with Pujols back and it being his and Yadi's last years, there is magic in the air.

I was 100% down for when the 2021 Cardinals went on one of the best hot streaks ever. Having a ton of gold-glove caliber fielders at the end of the year is an ok consolation prize. Good stuff

Really surprised you didn't mention Alex Reyes and his insane saves streak, despite his horrific FIP

Sex God Tyler O’Neil will bring us to the promise land this year

I've seen a couple of your videos. I just saw your "The single greatest month in Rockies history" video and I just have to say that video totally impressed me with the video editing, good job! +1 subscriber for you!

Gotta love my cardinals. I have huge expectations for em this coming year

Last season was a dream. I’m so happy i got to witness it in my lifetime, as a Cardinals fan. I’m just still so pissed we tossed our game against the Dodgers. I’m still so confused what our management was thinking putting Reyes in to try and secure our win. It was a tragedy. But we’re looking even better this year. I’m expecting us to go far.

God I watched every one of these games in 2020. Absolutely crazy and I'm happy you're tellin' everybody else

I was at the game Nolan hit his 30th home run of the season and to start the 17 game win streak. Absolutely fantastic, go cards

I'll never forget watching O'Neil hit home runs completely out of Wrigley Field in back-to-back games. Watch him be NL MVP this year, just wait.

The STL Cardinals are the single most underrated team in baseball

As was infamously said back in 2011, they just won't go away. The Cardinals are a goddamn powerhouse. Always when you least expect it.

And then in the 2022 season, it was one of the most exciting regular seasons I've ever witnessed. Then we got stomped in the first round of the playoffs like normal 🤣

Alex Reyes didn't belong out there against the Dodgers in a tie game. Still chapped that's how the run ended but what a run.

Danny Mac is just too damn good on the call. Despite the post season disappointments, 2021 will go down as one of my favorite Cardinals seasons ever.

Cardinals fan here. Will never forget that 17 game winning streak. Especially, that comeback win against Milwaukee!!! #12in22

This makes me so happy to be a Cardinals fan.

The Cardinals didn't actually need any offensive upgrades at last season's trade deadline. The offensive stats at that point were only down due to previous injuries to O'Neill and Bader (with a terrible bench needing to fill in) and a season long slump by DeJong, who by that point had been replaced as the starting shortstop by the surprisingly solid offense (while being at least his equal defensively) of Edmundo Sosa.

My main man! Ya always deliver! Thanks SportStorm!

Great vid!

I remember both of these stretches. Oh my gosh they were insane, for entirely different reasons.

I love the cards. Fun to watch no matter what. You never know what there gonna do

I had the great opportunity to either listen or watch nearly every game of these two seasons, and what a ride it was. I still question a lot of the Mozeliak trades (Arozorena, Adolis Garcia, and Luke Voit) but they somehow make it work.

Awesome video!

I really hope they win this year since it’s mostly likely going to be Wainwright’s and Molina’s last year

I commented asking for a cardnials winning streak video and you made it, thanks man

You should make an entire doc on the 2020 season, so much madness

I counted the cardinals out in august but the cardinals did what the cardinals always do, the shocked me and probably everyone. I was rooting for the Cards down the stretch

The 17 game win streak was pretty much all we talked about lol. It was awesome to watch

Danny Mac is very good at yelling.

Subscribed. Great content

“They pulled off the impossible not once, but twice.” And put many of us Cardinals fans in near-cardiac arrest in the process. Love my Redbirds, but do we really have to make the playoffs in this fashion so often?

Oh, you mean the MLB Steelers.

Could you do a video on the likelihood of the braves actually winning the World Series last year? I don’t think a lot of people understand how unlikely it actually was. Also, great video!

I was at the 17th win. The air was electric. It felt like a playoff game. In the last inning everyone was chanting 17. Ill be chasing that feeling for a long time.

I remember the game in early August where the Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes imploded against the Braves

This video so good bruh

Well… we have the 2 best players in the National League now, our 42 year old DH is raking in August, and our pitching is finally finding it’s stride. Watch out for them this October.

Love you sports storm

since 2000, the Cardinals have been in: 1st 11 times 2nd 6 times 3rd 4 times 4th 1 time playoff wise, they have: been the Wild Card 5 times Gone to the postseason 15 times (they didn't go 2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2016, 2017, 2018) Won the Division series 10 times Won the Championship series 4 times Won the World Series 2 times Also, worth noting that 1999 was the last time the Cardinals ended a season below .500 and 1990 was the last time they ended in last

Vanilla is an underrated flavor

On Hicks: he was going to miss the 2020 season anyway as he was recovering from Tommy John surgery. He opted out for health reasons.

As a long term cards fan, I want us to come back full force in 22, and I truly believe this'll be a year to remmeber. I believe molina and waino will have something to prove this season as a going away present for the fans and come in full force. They'll be gold glove winners for their positions and waino will come out to win a cy young award. We're going away with 6 gold glove awards, 3 silver sluggers, 2 homerun derby finalist, plus a world series win. We have the best 3rd basemen in the league, the best left fielder, a top 3 1st basemen, a top 10 center fielder, catcher, and 2nd basemen. Maybe Carlson will break out and show us what a rookie of the year contender will do, and Sosa will show us he deserves to be at short stop. This team is stacked defensively and 3 players are top 20 hitters. If our pitching staff can keep their heads on straight and pitch like everyone knows they can, I belive this year will be a no contest win for the cards. Our only competition is the dodgers. But they'll have their hands full with us, no doubt.

The edit of the cards' 17-game win streak was very well done!

I gotta see a video on how improbable the 2021 giants were and how they became the best team in baseball with frahans projects coming to fruition

win streak montage went so hard bro 😭

Go cards!

I was still pretty pleased with the Wild Card game. the Dodgers had a 105 record so anyone looking at the numbers probably would have thought that the Cardinals would be crushed, but instead it was a pitcher's duo until the 9th inning

Only thing missing in the win streak montage was the insane like 12 player double play against the cubs

go cards

another banger

Goooo Cardinals!

I am too excited to relive the last 2 wild ass red bird seasons.

This team is best bearting odds

It’s never the playoffs without the Cardinals crashing the party

goldschmidt and o'neill carried me to a fantasy championship last year

as a cardinals fan, I watch this and it makes me happy but its almost a smoke screen of what the actual season was. I believe that the 2019-2021 cardinals had no business being in the playoffs because of how horrible they were. they were ranked at the bottom of all hitting and pitching stats in those years. honestly in 2020 they had expanded playoff brackets to thank for getting in and then in 2021 they had a HORRIBLE collapse by the Padres and Reds to thank for them getting in. I love the 17 game winning streak but they weren't playing any great teams except for the brewers (twice if I remember correctly). Of course it is incredibly hard to win 17 games in a row and I'm not taking anything away from that but it wasn't like they played top tier teams. when they finally did face a top tier team like the dodgers, they were basically shut out (they got a run off of a mishap by the dodgers. the bats were quiet).

Can you do a "wtf happened to the 2021 Minnesota twins" video like the collapse of the padres one?

im from Pa but im a die hard Cards fan. i will devour any vid with St Louis in the title lol.

We’ve always had this voodoo magic, fun fact since 1918 we’ve only finished last in our division ONCE

It sucks in the 2020 season that they had to play so many games in such little time so they were worn out by the time playoffs came around so they didn’t have a chance

nostalgic

I guess third time is a charm because they need to do it again this year

that was our 2k team takeover 😭

Now the run of 23 begins

Tommy Edman is a beast

Cardinals need a movie just for the 17 win streak

My team!!

As I Pirates fan, it feels like the Cardinals do this every year. In spite of any odds, catastrophic injury, or a fricken plague, they'll bring up an 18 year old farm hand who's never played baseball before and will hit .300 and win a gold glove.

Cardinals devil magic is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

That's just what St. Louis sports teams do. 1999: The Rams, whose '90s constitute one of the worst decades in sports history, lose star QB Trent Green to injury and are forced to start Kurt Warner, who comes out of nowhere to lead the Greatest Show on Turf to a Super Bowl championship. 2011: In a do-or-die last dance for manager Tony La Russa and star first baseman Albert Pujols (yes, I know the Cards just re-signed him), the Redbirds sit 10 games back of a wild card spot near the end of August, and one of the greatest Septembers on record culminates in an all-time classic World Series where the Rangers are a strike away from winning their first championship TWICE and ultimately concede. 2019: The Blues fire Mike Yeo partway through the season, and a last-place position at the beginning of January forces interim coach Craig Berube to lean on rookie goalie Jordan Binnington and acquisition Ryan O'Reilly, who promptly reverse the tumble via a franchise-record 11-game winning streak and land the Note in the playoffs, where they dispatch three bitter rivals en route to a revenge series against the Bruins 50 years in the making where they ultimately emerge victorious for the first time ever. If a St. Louis team is successful all the way through a season, rest assured they won't go far in the playoffs.

Devil. Magic.

Then i guess we can stop calling it impossible

I just went to a game last night and they lost to the giants 😞

They might not have thrown very hard, but you cannot beat those AARP benefits.

You know. An odd request by me but maybe you should do a video called a journey of Fernando Rodney to win a ring.

Can’t believe they fired Mike Schildt

Definitely more Cardinals devil magic at work

The Cardinals would've made it through the wild card last year if Alex Reyes didn't attempt to hold the Dodgers off in the 9th. Reyes didn't close anything during that streak and that's why it happened. Someone else should've been put into that 9th inning.

Joe Buck just creamed his pants

Stuff like this history in 2020 is why I think in my opinion the 2020 mlb season was “legitimate”

Yet the cards still fired the manager...

Do it again cards.

Grand slamma

Today 8/18/2022 We Beated The Colorado Rockies 13 To Nothing.

The Cardinals pull more random BS than any team in baseball historically

One of these has to be done about the 2021 Braves. HAS TO BE DONE!

They did this at least 3 times now in the last 11 years looking like they would miss the playoffs only to rally late in the season and make it. It's kind of becoming a superstition for the fans 2011 9.5 back of the wc finished a game up went on to win the ws then the last two years

And then they fired their manager 😂

all that just to lose in the wild card &!1st round😂😂😂

great video but you overlooked something STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE This god damn Cards team in 2021 (Brewers fan here, I hate the Cards), had to get through an absurd schedule compared to the Reds and Brewers to finish the season in September. When you look at the schedule where they stood at 71-69, they had to still play the Reds, a Mets desperate to stay in the race themselves, a Padres team that was collapsing as you mentioned, a Brewers team that eventually did win a division (BUT COULD'VE WON A LOT SOONER HAD THE CARDS LOST AT LEAST 1 GAME! DEAD SERIOUS! The Brewers could've won the NL Central within the 1st 2 weeks of September had the Reds Cards lost at least a couple games after the early September series), and the Rival cubs. The Brewers had to play the Indians, got hiccup'd by Detroit, then all of a sudden struggled against the Cards, but eventually won the division while sweeping the Mets. The only true hard team we had was the Dodgers... The Reds? the only hard teams they had were the White Sox and Dodgers, they were facing Pittsburgh and Washington for the vast majority of September after the Cards series. The Reds would be the team to collapse. They entered the Cards series 75-67, in the driver's seat for a WC, and ended 83-79. The Brewers going into the Reds/Cards series were 87-55, ended 95-67. Keep these records in mind. It means the Brewers were at one point 15 games AHEAD of the Cards, which means the Brewers could've won the division with 15 games to spare. There were 22 games left for the Cards, the Brewers won the division by 5 games. *5* That's how MIRACULOUS this run was for the Cardinals, they actually somehow had a chance to not only still make the playoffs (which they did, despite being below .500 in the 1st half!), but they ALMOST overtook my Brewers in September ALONE for the Division! I HATE THE CARDINALS SO MUCH! Because you're right, it's not the 1st time they did this, and it wasn't in 2020 IT WAS 10 YEARS PRIOR! The Cards did the same thing! The Brewers won the division while everyone thought the Cards were down and out! The Cards would not only still make the playoffs, but BEAT the Brewers! On their way to win a World Series! I was PISSED! Every time the Brewers are remotely successful, the Cards shut us down, just like they ALSO did in 1982!

The cardinals are definitely a playoff team this year

Its the cardinals, I love them, but they are cardiac killer. They will probably look shell shocked by all star break, coach marmol get heat as new young coach. Then Tyler o Neill arenado, Goldschmidt and co will start playing like mvps and that will be that. Also real quick can we appreciate wainwright for what he is, despite his record in postseason he's generally phenomenal. Just rather unlucky.

Angels also did the imposible

Need to get it going Already in 2023 😒.
